After being unavailable for over 30 years, the horror comic series Monster, written by none other than the comic book industry’s signature genius/nutcase Alan Moore, the creator of John Constantine, V for Vendetta, Watchmen, etc., with Judge Dredd and A History of Violence creator John Wagner handling later issues, will finally be reprinted as a paperback collected edition this July. Head over to The Guardian for the full story.
The original comic strip was part of the weekly SCREAM! horror anthology in the ’80s but has been incredibly hard to find since then. It follows a deformed psychopath who escapes from his attic prison and goes on a murderous rampage. The black & white and somewhat crowded visuals may seem unappealing to today’s comic audience, but as it comes from two of the most popular creators of all time, I expect it to have a huge fanbase.
